The Oldest Working Engine in The World
The Fairy Queen is probably the oldest working engine in the world. The
train offers you an opportunity to enjoy the vibrant Rajasthan on the oldest
working broad gauge steam locomotive in the world. The train stops at every
major destination. The ambience of the train offers an excellent dimension
to feel and enjoy like a maharaja as you get through the royal land of
Rajasthan.
The history of the Fairy Queen dates back to 1855, when the majestic luxury
train rolled out for the East Indian railway. The train was built by Kitson,
Thompson Hewitson, UK for the erstwhile East Indian Railways (EIR). For the
first time after resting for 142 years from 1908, the Fairy Queen rolled
again on February 1st, 1997 from Delhi to Alwar. Finding its pride of place
in "The Guinness Book of World Records" and also winning the award
of National Tourism, this prestigious pristine beauty, that graces the
national rail museum, New Delhi, is running again.
